APPLE CINNAMON DOUGH
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup cinnamon
- 1/2 cup store bought applesauce
Or any equal portions of both ingredients depending on the quantity you desire.
Directions:
- Stir together cinnamon and applesauce with a spoon until the dough becomes stiff, then use your hands to create a ball of dough.
- Place the ball of dough on a sheet of waxed paper, flatten slightly with your fingers.
- Place a second sheet of waxed paper over the top of the dough and roll out dough to about 1/8" thick.
- Use cookie cutters or your own template shapes.
- Air dry creations on a waxed paper-covered cookie sheet or a cooling rack for at least 24 hours until they are completely hard.
Creative Tips:
- For extra sparkle, mix in decorative glitter.
- Make your own shapes by trimming the dough with a table knife and follow around patterns you have cut from cereal boxes cardboard.
- After cutting out shapes, use a drinking straw to create holes for jewelry or ornaments.
- Use toothpicks to make smaller holes. Leave in the dough until dry and remove.
- For a brooch, glue a metal clasp pin to the back.
- Decorate creations with acrylic paint or fabric paint.
- The creations can be used as decorations on gift boxes or gift bags.
